Based on Pep's latest press conference:

Kovacic - Probably back for Newcastle
Bernardo - 1-2 weeks
Stones - Return date not given
De Bruyne - 2-3 months

Thread title updated to remove Grealish as currently out.

Neither.

I think theres more to it than meets the eye with John Stones's absents

Why?

 

[pride in battle]

Did he tell you this ?

I think you need to get a backbone personally .

After supporting them since 1954 and minor shit like this counts for absolutely fuck all.

Pep see's it as a trophy as i do, so get back to sitting in the Colin Bell stand with your arms folded moaning about the good old days...

Not like you to push a nonsense agenda

Lilo said Stones was nearly back a week or so ago. Not sure what has happened since…I guess a minor setback.

I think so. It's a one off game played between a heavyweight and an ok team, just to be in the Europa league you have to be a bit shit otherwise you would be in the Champs League. The last 11 times the tied has been played the Europa League champions have won it just once, during that time Sevilla have appeared 5 times as Europa League Champions and lost them all.

and yet sevilla fought well even though city is a much better team, they didn’t just roll over and played dead because it’s a useless game or whatever. city players seemed very happy when they won.

did he tell you he doesn’t care? it’s crystal clear that he wants to win stuff if you watch his interviews.

he’d be on a beach somewhere if he lost the desire for trophies - he said that.

Pretty sure he would rather not have to play in this competition in a crowded fixture time in December .

If the team suffers unnecessary injuries at an important time I doubt he will share your enthusiasm but it is a very important competition for those who enjoy bragging rights , so I'm sure you will be a happy little chap.

I hope you don't wet yourself with excitement.

It's a competition he has no choice about taking part in. Ensuring his players do not get injured at an important time in the season will be his priority and I doubt he would be suicidal if he doesn't win it.

Am not saying something dodgy going on with jonboy. But very little info is coming from the club regarding his recovery/ return CTID

He was last seen doing some City in the Community work delivering parcels in Eccles.

He went into ann old lady’s house for a cup of tea as she wanted to show him her new microwave.

He's not been seen since.

i didn’t say he would be suicidal. his stance on trophies is pretty clear though.

anyway, kova’s been training today - yay!

Atleast we know he's in good hands then.
I suspect he's being treated like a king
Hero worshipped too. CTID

He's made of glass hope not.

Love Johnny Stones but no one can turn a couple weeks into a couple of months like him, LOL...

Re: Kova in the background of the Josko shot. Do you think the folks that manage the media are given direction on what they should or shouldn’t be showing in regards to player fitness? Like if a player was all taped up in practice but no injury had been disclosed - do you think they’d not show that image?
